I have a Rabone machinist level which I fooled with on the leveling jack and inadvertently threw it out of spec ,it was made in 1945, great tool just dont have something to re-calibrate it with.
Now I installed a new lathe in my shop this weekend and want to take the twist out of it and level it, I own one of these incredible place anywhere accurate to ½ a degree doo-dads and it reads zero one direction and minus 2Deg the other.
I have the right tool that was made with pride in front of me and I have a tool that lies to me. God daam im pissed off.
Sorry for the rant.
